Maya launches Maya Stocks

MANILA, Philippines — PLDT’s Maya Bank Inc. has launched the first retail investing service in the Philippines, integrated in a digital bank app.

Called Maya Stocks, the new service offers real-time transactions and instant earnings growth through the app’s diverse wealth-building options.

Starting today, Maya app users can conveniently buy, sell, and manage shares of publicly listed companies acquired anytime and from anywhere via the Maya Stocks marketplace through partner brokers Philstocks, and soon, 2TradeAsia, DragonFi and Seedbox.

It is the only digital bank app that offers investors their choice of broker and investment terms.

The service enriches the already expansive Maya app, which offers savings, borrowing, spending, insurance, crypto trading, and rewards.

“We’re pioneering a new era of access to investments – making it simpler, faster, and more seamless,” Maya Group president and Maya Bank co-ounder Shailesh Baidwan said.

“With Maya Stocks, we are transforming the Philippine investment landscape with instant transactions and all-in-one digital banking experience, accelerating the nation’s journey towards broader investment ownership,” he said.

Baidwan expects Maya Stocks to deepen further digital adoption, especially among bank customers who already engage two to four times more than those using only e-wallets.

The launch of Maya Stocks was lauded by both the Philippine Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission.                         –
